    Points from an Excel Spreadsheet

    I have an excel spreadsheet with the XYZ values of 52,000 points. I would like to create these points in NX3 to create a surface. What is the best way to do this? Surely there is a way to use the spreadsheet function to get this completed. Thanks, Dave

    Hot Keys - alt R M ect....

    I understand what you are saying, I have done this many time before. The question I have is in NX3 is there any way to generate a macro that will also "class select". Using the tab button does not work.

    Hot Keys - alt R M ect....

    I don't think your macro will work in NX3. I understand about recording the key strokes, but my question was more specific, as in what would be the key strokes for the above command.

    The major cad program here is ProE. The PDM program is tailored for ProE (Product Center). I am using Unigraphics for GM programs. The problem is in the data management of the UG files. I can use Product Center, but only as a vault. What is the best way to manage these files? Is it that you...

    In a demo for Mold Wizard they changed the color of sheets from one direction only. This allowed the operator to see if there was any undercuts. Can this be done quickly without Mold Wizard? Thanks, david

Please help...

    In a demo from UG years ago they had a part on the screen and changed the colors of only the surfaces that where in view.
